Championship Last Night.

The Great Fight for the Lightweight
Championship Last Night.
New YORK, November 16th.-A. M.-The
Worlds Boston special says Probably
never before has so much excitement
among sporting men been witnessed as on
yesterday. The battle for the lightweight
championship of the world and s. coo and
the belt was on, and the fancy" were
wildly endeavoring to get the tip as to the
battle ground. Great secrecy was MAIN
tanned. The spectators were limited to ten
on each side, who paid $3.50 each, making
up the purse. The ring was pitched under
cover few miles outside Of this city, and
the wealthiest patrons of the ring in Provi-
dence and New York were present.
The men were both weighed at noon at
South Framingham. Both scaled within
the limit, and went to sleep prepared to
meet again at o'clock in the ring, but
they did not meet at that hour Eight
o'clock passed, and the men did not ap-
pear, and the crowd became anxious.
1t was stated that McAuliffe did not want
TO fight, and that the delay was on account
of his actions. Others said his hackers
were waiting for the appearance of the
police. Some others said the fact that even
money prevailed had caused Carney TO
weaken, and the sports were downcast.
To-day betting was brisk, and it is safe to
say that at least S., 900 was wagered in town.
Tom Reilly, of Providence, bet $500 against
$3.50 ON McAuliffe.

Senator FarWell's Texas Land.

Senator Charles V. Farvell, of Hi nois, and his partners, his brother and Abner Taylor, of Chicago, will make from $15, ,0OO, 900 to $20, ,00O, 900 in their Texas land speculation. It is said that the State of Texas has given to the Ear we'll Company 5000, ,O0O acres of land in Texas. The land to-day is worth S5 an acre, and the State buildings that were built for it did not cost more than $1,- OOO,O ,OOO. The land is all fenced in. Seventy five thousand cattle are now on 1t, and more are to follow. It com prises enough territory for a principah- ty. The Farwell Company have their headquarters in London. English capi- talists own about one-quarter of the stock. This great and successful ven ture was brought to the Tarwells by an impecunious and visionary man, who obtained the contracts which he sold to the FarweN Company. The story goes that the man was in Austin, and hear ing that the State was offering the land to any one who would put up State buildings, he calmly walked up and took the contract, when he had barely enough money in his pocket to pay his way to Chicago. The same men who gave away such block of land rather than raise the money necessary by tax ation of course never dreamed of ques- tioning the contractors financial ability
 He had soma trouble in convincing the Farwells of the value of the land owing to their distrust of the visionary con tractors judgment, but investigation showed the value, and so the contract was purchased for few thousand dol lars, and property was obtained which will net its owners many millions.

The couple will come from Prince Edward, and expect to get good start in life from the presents they will receive. The young lady is rather tail and very pretty.

How a Boy Got Off.

A boy named by the monitor was or dered to "stand out" He took his place clear of the desks in the gangway of the school, and, with the certainty of pun lshment hanging over him, had to wait there until a file of takers had been collected. When the TOW of the con- demned had become somewhat long, and when there was pause in the occu- patton of the autocrat, the christening began. For this offence the sentence mostly took effect on the palms of the hands, and the two strings, one of cul- prits coming up to the ordeal, and the other of victims with quivering hands tucked under their arms, and bowling, grooming, or with difficulty repressiny their emotion as they wound their wag back to their seats, might possibly have been object replete with interest to q student of human nature but were too common to excite much attention among us. There was one little imp, as I re member, who used skillfully to skip across from the advancing to the re- treating column, hug his hands and howl as if he had been smitten, and so to get back unscathed to his place. 1t was a dangerous trick, the penalty of which, if it had been detected, I dare not contemplate. I know but of this one boy who tried it.-Blachwoods Maaazine.

MRS. CLEVELAND INSULTED.
"A Republican Editor Hanged in
 Effigy for the Insult.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Oct. 13.-The excite mcnt occasioned by the appearance in the Tribune, on the morning after President S.cvclands visit, of an editorial containing severe strictures on the administration and manner of conducting the present "Tour for Votes" culminated tonight, when MT. A. J. Blethen, proprietor of the Tribune, was burned in effigy by a crowd of roughs. The exception taken to the editorial were based principally on the language used with refer enco to Mrs. Cleveland, which was as follows:
 And it is extremely hard to respect either member of this family now touring for votes. Mrs. Cleveland is a handsome mature woman, apparently several years older than she is said to be. At least she was old enough to have exercised her own free choice in marrying Grover Cleveland. It is inconceivable that shc should have married him except to obtain the position of mistress of the White House. Such marriage would never have been thought of but for the astonishing political accidents which in the course of two or three years brought MT. Cleveland out of the ob- scurity which is his proper element, to the highest position in the nation. It is hard to have respect for woman who would sell her self to so gross and repulsive man as Grover Cleveland, and one with private record so malodorous, for the bauble of a brief social ascendancy. She is now an object of curiosity and remark for gaping crowds, and her photographs are sold almost if not quite as freely as Mrs. Langtry's. Such is her reward. If she can secure re election for Grover she will have four years more of the qualification which the highest social prominence gives and of the delight of unflagging newspaper notorie- ty. After that she will simply have to put up with being the wife of as insignificant and ob- scure man as an ex-President could possibly be. One cannot help pang of sympathy for her, but she has chosen her lot deliberately"
 About 10 o'clock this evening about 100 men and boys of the Algonquin Club gathered in a side street and fired the usual straw man which has been seen on such occasions from time immemorial The party was led by Mayor A. A. Ames.
 After burning the efigy the crowd proceed ed to the Tribune building and made further demonstrations, but was finally dispersed by the police.

THE FRINGE DOOMED.
So Say German DoctOrs--A Soldier
 for the Throne.

Dr. Wolfred Nelson, who has just returned from Germany, says that when he was in Ba, den Baden few days ago, he was assured by physicians and other gentlemen. who had trustworthy sources of information, that the condition of the Crown Prince Frederick is un- occasionally precarious. It is admitted now that he is suffering from cancer of the throat, known as tobacco smokers cancer. The case is very similar to that of Gen. Grant. The Prince was for many years an Invcteratc smok- CT. In spite of all official opinions to the con- trary, German physicians consider the Prince already doomed man. The very severe caus- tics used have destroyed not only the tissue primarily affected, bnt the parts themselves. So severe has the treatment been, that parts of the bony tissue are now visible.
 Conservative Germans, Dr. Nelson added, view the probability of the Crown Princes early demise with much alarm. The Emperor, already past 91, has had several pseudo apo plcctic seizures, though this has been indus triously denied. His death is liable to occur at any moment. With the Grown Prince as the Emperor s successor it is believed that a peaceful policy would be maintained, and that Bismarck's influence would be less predomi- nant. But if he is at deaths door the imperial power will soon fall to Prince William, the Crown Princes eldest son. He is a young man of 2S years, and is said to be every inch a soldier. People who know him say he is bold impetuous, and fiery and is ambitious to make 8 namc as a warrior. Much app chension is therefore felt in regard to Germany's proxi- mate future.

THE BALTIC MILL BURNED.
A Loss of $1, 1,5OO,OOO-0OO Hands
 Thrown Out of Work.

WILIMANTIC, Conn.,, Oct. 15.--The large Sprague Baltic mill, five stories in height, built of stone, 1000 by 800 feet, in Baltic, Conn.,, was totally wrecked by fire yesterday. The fire was discovered by the night watch man after it had gained considerable head way in the card room. He ran to the alarm box, but by the time aid arrived the first floor was we'll on fire. The mill was well supplied with force pumps which were oon set at work, and the steam fire engine of the town was soon got into working order, but the efforts to subdue the flames were un- availing, and the fire quickly spread through the upper stories. The water supply failed before the fire had gained full headway, for the fall of the first floor disabled the mill hydrants. By five o'clock the main building and the two additions had all been reduced to ruins. The gas works ill the rear were also destroyed.
 The mill was built in 1857 by Amasa and William Spragre, but lately has been operated on a lease by H. L. Aldrich X Co.,, of Provi- dence. It had capacity of 1O,OO0 spindlcs, and produced print goods. Nine hundred hands are thrown out of employment by the fire. The loss is estimated at S1, ,50O, ,OO0: in- surance S257 OOO. The employees are being paid off as fast as they cali at the office, and have already begun to look for work elsewhere. The pay roll was about S1,000 day, and the destruction of the mill will be a source of much distress to residents of Sprague and the neighborhood this winter. The mill privilege is too valuable to be deserted, and it is prob able that the mill will be rebuilt eventually, if not at once.
